for the DS Pro Basic II

This review is for the lower voltage model (standard 2v). Upon receiving this dac I hooked it up to my cheap dvd player as a transport and my lower end Denon receiver. I feel this dac as any would be much better on a dedicated transport but unfortunately I don't have the luxury of affording one at the moment. Compared to my DS Pro Basic I, the sound is more refined and smoother with airier highs and more separation between instruments. Overall a very good dac for the price it can be had these days.

Product Weakness: low voltage
Product Strengths: bass slam, very musical
